Desktop-only Version

Offline version/availability
I am often somewhere where i don't have internet or have very bad internet or internet that costs me a lot of money. It would be great to be able to work offline. Not ...

An iOS app
A simple app for Apple devices running iOS using the basic features of the internet browser based web app that syncs across devices and desktop.

Pro Writing Aid Desktop Plug In
Possibly in the future work with pro writing aid to expand the grammar and spell check to a full plugin or a symbiotic way to work together for editing
Reading level prediction
Tool that calculates the reading level of the text (like Hemingway app) - maybe even goes as deep as to highlight complicated passages (once again, like Hemingway)
Synchronization with other storage
It’d be nice if Dabble could also link to something like iCloud or Dropbox or both. That way it’s an extra layer of security and being able to retrieve files from ...
Mac and Ipad App
App that you can download from the App store that operates like a program rather than a browser editor, while still syncing projects across all devices.

Correct all, Instead of one at a time

A publish option

I would like to be able to use the PWA Contextual Thesaurus inside Dabble, either via the existing integration with PWA or via the PWA browser extension.

In Service Tools/Marketplace
I believe something across the lines of being able to be connected to agents or writing resources like that would be fine. It doesn’t have to be anything like Reedsy, ...
Links for the app
This way you can put a link in somewhere like notion and when on your phone click on that link and be taken to the app if on a phone or tablet. This would be ...
Literary agent events
There should be an event where dabble gives you a chance to submit your story or your novel to a literary agent. And if you like you could pay 5.99 and have them ...

API Integration capability with 3rd party applications.
I would like to be able to use a Chrome based extension or an API integration with external systems to import existing text snippets and/or reference material into my ...
Dark/customizable icon
Exactly what it says on the tin: the icon is pretty bright in dark mode, and it would be great to make it either dark or have an option of light or dark.
